SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- The Detroit Red Wings' Brian Rafalski was the only player who didn't skate Thursday at Alltel Ice Den, but coach Mike Babcock said the defenseman will play Friday in Game 5 of their first-round playoff series against the Phoenix Coyotes at Jobing.com Arena (10 p.m., FSN).

Rafalski was shaken up in Game 3. He missed a couple shifts but returned to the finish the game, and he played in Game 4. He has not practiced since getting hurt, however.

Babcock said he'll use the same line combinations and defense pairings he used in Game 4, at least at the start of the game:

Meanwhile, Coyotes coach Dave Tippett said the status of captain Shane Doan will be determined at game time. Doan skated for about half the practice Thursday in Glendale before leaving for treatment.

"It was more just to get the feel of getting my legs,'' Doan told reporters at the Coyotes' practice in Glendale. "You skate so much, and then to go four, five days without skating, I didn't want to wait any longer. (I) hope for better tomorrow.''

Doan sustained an apparent right shoulder injury after stumbling over Howard and crashing into the boards two minutes into Game 3.

"(Howard) was kind of in a vulnerable position on his hands and knees and I didn't want to clip him in the head,'' Doan said. "I tried to avoid him as best I could. I want to hit them all I can, but I don't want to hit anyone in a vulnerable position.''
